Miner, by the Rocky Mountain Telegraph
although they are scattered through the
city, it is certain that there is quorum Of
the members of the Legislature here, and
that by the arrivals in the morning there
wilf be but few absentees. OF the Silver
Bow delegation Mantle and Hauscom are
| on deck, and the Others will be here in the
morning. The condition of affairs is mixed,
so to speak, and no one dare forecast tho
possibilities of the session. / have talked
| with several of the best informed and most
influential members OF both branches, but
they do not care to hazard an opinion.
THE MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR
is the pivot upon which will turn the most
important events, and upon it will depend
the length of the session. II Governor Les
lie, in his message, is conservative and
mildly suggestive, the Indications are that
the majority will yield willing obedience
and promptly repeal or amend obnoxious
laws or enact new ones to meet emergencies.
If on the contrary, he is arrogant and as
semptive, there is disposition mani
tested by the members Of both parties to
FIGHT HIM WITH HIS OWN WEAPONS
and to use their own time and pleasure in
doing it. This will necessitats q long ses-
sion. Thus far the Governor has positively
declined to give any expression OF his
views, and while have not had q personal
interview, my authority is undoubtedly
that the contents OF his message will not be
made public until it is presented to the
Legislature. Primarily 4
THE OBJECT OF THE SESSION
is to take action apon the Thompson Rev
nue. bill, which was passed at the last
session. It will either be repealed in its
entirety, or be SO changed that it's author
nor the County Treasurers, will recognize
it. As the bill and are strangers, have
no opinion to express upon the subject.
The next in Importance is the Lien Law.
It will be repealed or so altered as to be
enterely satisfactory to the mining interests
OF Montana, which it 50 seriously affected.
It's author is satisfied that tits
FAR TOO SWEEPING
in it's character, and is willing to agree to
when passed, the bill will carry out his pur-
pose of protecting the workingman. He
has no desire or intention OF imposing upon
the mine owners, or the owners of property
of any class. If the body goes into gem
eral legislation there will be music. A lot
of the old friends will reappear. There
will be an effort to have the Convict Labor
bill considered. The Insane Asylum act
will be
DIsHED UP ANEW.
I here will be attempts to create three or
four new counties, and for genuine fun tho
Gopher bill takes the cake. The Registra-
ton bill may, and probably will be, again
sprung, and the tone OF the few interviewed
indicates that this trip it is sure of safe
passage. The message will, to a greater or
less extent, control events. and in my dis
pntches of tomorrow, will be moro able
to give pronounced opinions.
THE TURN vEREN.
To-day the Helena Turn Verein gave .
picnic and ball in honor Of the Butte So
ciety. As guests from Butte there arrived
on the noon train, Major Fred Loeber.
Henry Kr. eyer, Fred Feilke, Henry Muel-
Ter, Henry Guenther, Major F. w. Werlitz,
Richard Theirman, William Guedelhofer,
William Boiler and Albert Freitch. Tho
delegation we're taken in town by John
Steinbrenner and he and his associates
MADE IT PLEASANT FOR THEM.
The picnic and it's attendant ceremonies
were in all respects complete success. 1t
is the intention OF the Butte and Helena
Vereins to organize Turn Bezirk, which
will include all similar organizations in the
Territory, and will finally be united with
the national body that bears that name.
There are large number Of Butte people
here who have been in attendance on the
| races. Among the number who leave TO-
night are JOS K. Clark, OF the Moulton,
and Marshal Jolley.
